show windows 7 build number for all users?
« on: March 02, 2011, 12:16:21 AM »
When I go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Desktop and change PaintDesktopVersion to 1 it shows build number only to one user.
But I want to it show that to all users and when I create new user.

How to do that think?

You asked this using identical wording as Milan777 on MSFN three days ago. Did you try the suggested method?

You need to edit the default user hive. Set explorer to show hidden and protected operating system files. Open regedit and highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Click File, Load Hive... and browse to C:\Users\Default User\NTUSER.DAT. Give it a name. Now go to this new area that you named under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and edit <name you gave it>\Control Panel\Desktop. Then simply highlight the loaded hive and click file, unload hive.

I have worked out a way of doing what he asks, but I am concerned because "registry tweak to show build number" could be a disguise or cover for "my malicious registry entry" and would be kind of not what we are here for.

All their posts are copied and pasted from other forums, most of them have been answered. I think its a troll with OCDs'. The authorities have been notified.

so this person is just a post hunter just looking for something to post because it's a popular topic and google's unfriendly to him?
